Malabar:

Former state leaders of Haritha, the women students wing linked to the Muslim League, recorded decisive victories in Kerala local body elections, strengthening the United Democratic Front’s position across Malabar.

Advocate Fathima Thahliya, Advocate Mufeeda Thesni, and Advocate Najma Thabsheera won their respective contests with large margins. All three previously held top positions in Haritha at the state level.

Thahliya contested from the Kuttichira division of Kozhikode Corporation as the UDF deputy mayor candidate. She defeated the LDF supported candidate by a margin of 2,273 votes. She also serves as state secretary of the Youth League.

Najma Thabsheera won from the newly formed Valambur division in Perinthalmanna Block Panchayat. Contesting as block president candidate, she secured 6,730 votes against her rival’s 4,118 and continues as standing committee chairperson.

Mufeeda Thesni emerged victorious from the Tharuvana division of Wayanad District Panchayat. She polled 13,292 votes and defeated her opponent by 5,710 votes.

All three leaders have strong organisational backgrounds in Haritha, MSF, and the Youth League. Their victories come years after internal controversies linked to Haritha, which were later resolved. The results underline the continued political relevance of young Muslim women leaders in grassroots governance.
